Ask Mike
Say This, Not That
Whether we realize it or not, the words we choose in our classrooms matter! And our actions speak louder than our words! Excited to have guest Jett Lowrance with us on the podcast again for this episode.
What great insight from Jett has he discusses an intentional shift in our teaching from "This is what I need!" to "What do my students need from me so they can be successful?" Recognizing that our students will engage and become successful musicians when we intentionally give them genuine encouragement and create opportunities for them to be successful!
Jett also shares some great strategies to help when our students are having a tough time being amazing... it happens.
As always, fantastic conversation with Jett Lowrance on Ask Mike!
